Got Beer?
« on: February 08, 2008, 04:27:08 PM »
 


A beer that takes some of the guilt out of drinking won the top prize at the International Federation of Inventors' Association in Bangkok, Thailand.

While many of the inventions are highly technical efforts, possibly breakthroughs in the fields of medicine, agriculture and environment, crowds at the convention center in the Thai capital were rather drawn to displays such as the fail-safe hammock and Vitamin Beer.

"If you are looking for an excuse to take a swig, this is it," said Billy L. Lalang, who concocted a beer mixed with Vitamin B, to replace this essential vitamin lost when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed.

Although yet to be marketed, this "prophylactic for drinkers" as the Philippine inventor calls it, has won a gold medal at the European Union-sponsored Genius-Europe competition.

Lalang, president of the Manila Innovation Development Society, says he has 42 inventions to his name, including a one-a-day lollipop, packed with vitamins and other essentials for undernourished children.

Other popular creations from inventors all over the globe on display include a system to stop would-be car bombers, an even a better mousetrap, a new jam spreader from Taiwan or a "cat averter garbage bag" thought up by an Iranian.

"Every time you give inventors an opportunity to have their ideas seen, that's what starts their blood flowing," said Deb Hess, executive director of the Minnesota Inventors Congress.

More than 150 of their brainchildren were unveiled at this conference of the International Federation of Inventors' Association, a Hungary-based group celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Husein Hujic, secretary-general of the Inventors' Association of Bosnia-Herzegovina, extolled the virtues of a hammock so adaptable to the body's shape that "there is no risk to fall down off the hammock, even if the user is asleep and unconsciously moving."

Hujic, whose inventions include a patented calendar running from Jan. 1, of the Christian era to 4619, spoke so convincingly of the swinging bed.

 From Niger came a pest trap with "automatic rearmament," while the Iranian booth displayed a garbage bag infused with unnamed vegetal and chemical ingredients that are not harmful to humans or the environment but ward off cats, thus reducing urban litter.

Among the American inventions was an "invisible gym," an armchair that converts in 30 seconds into an exercise machine for the arms, upper body, legs and thighs. It comes in his and hers configurations.

Next to photographs of buildings devastated by terrorist bombs, Taiwan's Chih-Hong Huang pointed to diagrams explaining his "anti-terror defending facility against car-crash attack" a pressure sensor that instantly throws up a steel barrier when a vehicle of a certain weight rolls over it.

The three-day conference, held under the motto of "without inventor no invention, without innovation no development," also features discussions on improving the international system of patents and global sustainability.

You could say I'm a wine lady.  ;D I use different kinds of wine for my cakes.  Champagne in lieu of water for an otherwise plane tasting white cake.  Dry Sherry to my Poppy Seed Cake and Blueberry Wine for my, well, Blueberry cake!  I also use wines in cooking dishes.  The rule of thumb I practice:  Wine that you drink is the same wine that is good for cooking!

For drinking, I like a little of red or white wine, doesn't matter for as long as there's stinky cheese but my all-time fave is Bailey's.  I make Kahlua but most times I put it in my Chocolate Cake.

Hahaha wow na wow! And I bet your Blueberry cakes are simply divine! Someday Ate Ging, you'll have to show me how you cook your cakes. They are simply GR8!

You should publish a cook book or something!

Beers are great when they are very cold.
